Dear First-Year Students
On behalf of the Faculty of Business and Management Sciences (FBMS) at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, it is my pleasure to warmly welcome you to the start of an exciting academic journey. You are now part of the largest faculty in our university, a dynamic community where innovation meets opportunity and potential turns into purpose.

At the heart of our faculty lies our core values: Fair, Bold, Moral, and Sincere. These principles guide everything we do, shaping a culture that nurtures growth, celebrates diversity, and strives for excellence. As you embark on this new chapter, we encourage you to embrace these values in your academic, social, and personal endeavours.
This is a time of discovery, learning, and transformation. You will meet inspiring lecturers, forge lifelong friendships, and acquire knowledge and skills that will set you apart in the business and management sciences fields. Remember, your journey will be what you make of it so dream big, stay focused, and take full advantage of the resources, support, and opportunities available to you.
We are committed to placing you at the centre of our teaching and learning programmes, research endeavours, and international collaborations. Our academic staff works closely with industry professionals to ensure that our curriculum remains current and aligns with the skills and trends required for your success as a future graduate. The knowledge and skills you gain here will open doors both nationally and internationally, empowering you to thrive as employable professionals, innovative entrepreneurs, or impactful intrapreneurs on a global stage.
To support your success, we have designed the FBMS Orientation Programme to help you transition smoothly into university life. This program provides essential information about your studies, student life, and opportunities for cultural and sporting engagement. As you advance, you will have access to a network of support, including class representatives, tutors, mentors, teaching assistants, Student Counselling, the Disability Unit, and our internal and external partners. Each of these resources is dedicated to helping you achieve your full potential.
We are excited to walk this journey with you and look forward to witnessing your growth and success. Welcome to our faculty and to a world of possibilities — one that will equip you to thrive as a global citizen.
